  • Publication number: 20200117151
    Abstract: Outages and/or switching operations associated with an electrical energy distribution system (e.g., a power grid system) are managed. In an implementation, a system provides for receiving outage request information related to a request to interrupt a power supply provided to a device in an electrical energy distribution system, determining switching information related to a set of steps to de-energize a portion of the electrical energy distribution system associated with the device based on the outage request information, and performing a switching operation to de-energize the portion of the electrical energy distribution system based on the switching information.

  • Patent number: 10488829
    Abstract: A method is provided for merging different load forecasts for power grid centers. Area load forecasts are accepted from load forecast engines. A relational database saves load forecast engine data. A comprehensive operating plan integrates individual load forecasts into a composite load forecast to present a comprehensive, synchronized and harmonized load forecast.

  • Patent number: 10128655
    Abstract: A system tool merges different load forecasts for power grid centers. A plurality of load forecast engines are coupled to a load forecast interface and a relational data base that saves load forecast engine data as an input through the load forecast interface. A comprehensive operating plan is coupled to the load forecast engines and the relational database. The comprehensive operating plan is configured to integrate individual load forecasts into a composite load forecast to present a comprehensive, synchronized and harmonized load forecast. A program interface provides access to the composite load forecasting schedule.

  • Patent number: 10116165
    Abstract: Various aspects of the disclosure provide for an integrated system to facilitate operational and supervisory functions for transmission and distribution power grids. The system can facilitate switching operations for the power grid as well as providing an integrated planning, scheduling, and logging of power grid supervisory functions in order to reduce human error, improve labor efficiencies, and provide tools to assist in daily work plan assignments. The system includes modules to assist with outage and switching management, as well as modules for daily operation planning, work assignment planning, interruption tracking and analysis, and logging and recordkeeping.
